Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial began on May 12 that went on for several weeks.
Eventually, on July 2, the jury announced their verdict and the rapper was found guilty of 2 out of 5 counts.
The music mogul is currently awaiting his sentence right now that is scheduled for October 3rd.
Ahead of the big day, the rapper has secured a major victory in court.
A federal judge dismissed nearly all claims in a $60 million lawsuit filed by Sara Rivers, a former contestant on MTV’s Making the Band 2 and member of Da Band.
U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled that 21 of the 22 claims brought by Rivers either lacked legal merit or were filed too late under statute of limitations laws.
The sole remaining claim, alleging a violation of the New York City Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, remains on hold.
Sara filed the lawsuit almost two decades after her time on the early-2000s reality show.
The singer accused Diddy of sexual harassment, assault, forced labor, and emotional abuse.
Diddy’s legal team denied all allegations, labeling the lawsuit “meritless” and “completely false.
How long will Diddy be in jail?
As the musician was convicted on two charges of transportation for prostitution, Diddy might face up to a decade in prison.
